Depending on your curl type, a lot of people have better results putting products on while hair is super soaking wet. It helps the curls clump together and keeps frizz down. Damp styling works for some, but not for everybody! Also because curly hair is more porous, it can absorb product, even when the hair is wet!

[@Olivvie18]

Brad give Vanessa her point back for detangling her hair during her deep conditioner process. Most natural especially tight coily hair detangle best with wet hair full of conditioner.

Give her back her point.

Braaaddd....you need to watch more curly girls. Putting the product in when your hair is soaking wet, then squishing or pulsing it in for a couple of minutes is actually the most effective way to both get product in and maintain moisture for a lot of curlies. I've done it myself and it really does make a difference. Also, these curly girls have spent a lot of time figuring out what works best for them. It's a very different routine than for straight hair. Btw, the reason for not using silicone is because it requires a sulfate to remove, and many curlies only use a sulfate every few weeks. 😘

[@beatriza.4626]

EXACTLY!!

[@Lyssadarling22]

This! If I let my hair get too dry while styling, I can never get the right amount of water back in without completely soaking it again. So either I sacrifice my nice little curl families or start from scratch when it comes to how wet my hair. Wet styling is important. You're not diluting it either. If anything, your making sure more product is dispersed. The water helps dissolve it making it easier to absorb. As you scrunch and brush your product through, you are ensuring that the product/water combo is evenly applied and easier to enter the hair. Also, there doesn't seem to be any imperical evidence to explain the CGM obsession with sulfates and silicones. Manes by Mell has several videos that go into why both are perfectly fine for most people to use. She does say that some people react negatively to a product. Seeing as how there are almost always reports of someone having a poor reaction to a product, there will always be outliers. These are people who's chemical make-up is so unique that they can't handle certain products that 99% of the population benefit from. Unfortunately, it was a stylist who wrote the Curly Girl Method book. Only a scientist, one who's research on the subject could be vetted by dozens of his/her peers would need to back up those claims. There was a study done not so long ago that indicates air drying causes more damage than drying with heat. You're leaving the hair shaft expanded and full of water for too long. Even cold temp hair dryers are probably to long. Soaking wet hair with gel takes years to dry. This is what causes damage. Blow drying with heat is better for your hair. Many CGM "no-no's" are flawed or straight up inaccurate.

[@aj10785]

She was doing her first wash after braids. You wear them for about 6 weeks, so that's a normal amount of shedding. It's a protective style and the braids trap hairs that naturally fall out.

Yes, it seems like he's at a loss here. It's very different, to be a curly hair/natural hair specialist than what he's been doing for a living.

Lol I love your videos but this is why I don't go to a stylist unless they are a curly specialist, because the things you're knocking points off for are absolutely accurate methods for styling curly hair and unless you have curly hair or work very often with people who do, or go out and get educated specifically on styling curly hair, there's no way for you to know that. Hair schools rarely educate students on how to properly style curly hair. I can't tell you the number of salons and stylists I've been to that have no idea WTF they're doing when styling curls so they finish cutting it and while it's damp, throw some kind of gel on it and try to put it in place and send me on my way. A MESS. I usually have to go home and re-style my hair after paying gobs of money to get it done. It's beyond frustrating. I recommend checking out Manes by Mell (a stylist, curly specialist, and youtuber).

[@mollyskye3216]

The gel in the half dry hair after it’s been combed while being cut is the worst 😭

[@kristenmiller3644]

Tell me you don’t specialize in curly hair without telling me you don’t specialize in curly hair. We comb our hair wet because it will cause frizz if we do it dry. And many curly products (like Curlsmith and LUS) recommend using it soaking wet.

[@sabrinabee8039]

I have curly hair and I just can't agree with the "brush your hair when it's 50% dry comment" lol sorry brad. if you brush it when it's dry/50% dry you are going to fuck up your whole curl pattern. My hair has to be drippy wet when I put styling products through it and I use a wide tooth comb to distribute the product. So yes maybe don't rip through wet hair with just any old brush, use a wide tooth comb or wet brush.

[@ColieBear18]

Right? I don't even touch my hair with my hands let alone a brush. I apply products to soaking wet hair micro plop and diffuse and then don't. Touch. It.

[@croiaaob]

The hair comment is right, hair is most fragile when it’s wet, however not brushing it when it’s wet only really applies to people with thinner, straighter hair. Detangling dry curly hair, especially more coily hair types is so difficult it might as well be a olympic sport. + Way more breakage happens dry, i remember going to a hairdresser to get my hair cut a couple of years back and cringed when she started brushing my hair dry, it somehow ended up more damaged coming out than in, i cut my own hair now. 😂 Basic curly hair knowledge is to do the opposite of what you are used to -please do NOT brush it when it’s dry.

[@hannahmaldonado3665]

Exactly! My hair is thick 2c/3a and difficult to detangle dry, while my friends is 3c/4a. It's impossible unless you have straight hair that you can brush everyday.

[@sarahprince2412]

That's why when you go to a stylist you need one who is an EXPERT with curly hair. We can't have a regular stylist because our hair is different. Even with wavy hair the hair pattern is different.

[@Lyssadarling22]

😮 omg... I am so sorry. I've had stylist who weren't patient when brushing my wavy hair and definitely caused more breakage. With my current stylist, I started dry brushing my hair either before my appointment or while she mixes my color. You can't dye hair without detangling first.

You are no doubt a talented and entertaining hairstylist and youtuber but there are so many things about how to care for curls you were unaware of. I’d love to see you collab with a professional curl stylist so they can teach you some. It would be an excellent video.

[@hopew6979]

Nope nope nope...gotta detangle your curly coily hair while wet (or very very damp) and apply products on either soaking wet hair or very damp hair depending on curl type. And gel creams are good for sealing in the moisture. The "swish to condish" is a curly hair technique from Melissa Stites, a curly stylist in Michigan, and it for deeply hydrating the hair. With curly hair, you need to keep the water in...water is hydration. And the plus side is you can use less product while still getting the definition and softness you want. Although, I do agree with using a foam product if you really want lightness and volume. I love a good mousse for that. But mousse doesn't keep a style as long as gel does.

[@8101753]

All these critiques about Brad's comments are very valid. As a curly girl, I would just like to add frizz is not always a bad thing. Some of us actually prefer to have a little "frizz" instead of super tight curls outchea lookin like Shirley Temple 😂

[@laytonpro8655]

Ok when Brad talking about silicones, Im quickly realising his lack of knowledge of curly hair. The reason silicones are disliked in the curly hair community is cause the only way to truly wash it out is by using sulfates. Sulfates being very damaging to curly hair as the natural oils take longer to travel down the hair so it drys it out more. After the wet detangling comment too I am becoming more sceptical of this critic

As someone with curly hair I can guarantee I will never be brushing it dry. You wanna talk about frizz and breakage?? That's how you get it. Brushing your hair dry is for people with straighter, more naturally hydrated hair.

[@amyosullivan8629]

For context, I have wavy, type 2 hair. I used to dry brush my hair for YEARS, and I was on the train of "my hair is straight but sooooo frizzy :(" My hair literally poofed up so much I looked like I was electrocuted 99.9999% of the time. Without doing too much research, I noticed that my hair looked so much better when I didn't dry brush it (usually when I washed it at night and didn't brush it the following morning) so I stopped dry brushing. When I realised that my hair actually had a wave pattern, and was not just "straight frizzy hair", and stopped dry brushing my hair completely, my life became so much easier. So I can only imagine that girls with curlier hair would have an even worse experience than me when it comes to dry brushing. I have to disagree strongly with this one, Brad. Please consult someone w natural hair/someone who specialises in these areas before making such a video. Or even make it a collab, I'm sure people would be really happy to see you collab w natural hair girls :)

One of the main reasons I trim my own hair.

[@RaeCarroll96]

Not going to lie…. This is definitely a frustrating video for me. As a wavy I have to do a lot of the things brad dislikes in order to make my waves the most happy and pretty. Brushing while wet is a must, applying products to sopping wet hair is pretty important, and a gel is one of the only things that gives me good hold. The other thing is that I follow India and watched that video. She was trying a curly technique. It wasn’t her actual routine. All that said I think if Brad had more knowledge of curly techniques and the reasoning behind the things wavies and curlies, this video would have been very different!

[@abbsterlicious5186]

Yes n the title of that video was literally “TRYING the bowl method”. He knew what he was doing

[@Lyssadarling22]

And gel doesn't weigh hair down except maybe if you put it on dry. The thing is that the water helps dilute the product which allows it to evenly distribute through the hair. Therefore, there's less buildup on the outside of the hair and some of the gel that was absorbed into the water evaporates too. Obviously, not much, but once you add a new chemical to your product, in this case water is the new chemical, you are physically changing the properties of the product. It's no longer the same as if you applied it dry. That's why textured hair often gets more crispy when your hair isn't soaking while you apply your gel. At least, that's been my experience.

[@ForceT9]

you really highlighted the fact you have idea what you're talking about. good job.

[@2Mushy]

Advice like what Brad is saying, is why my curls are a mess. Curly hair is the literal opposite of straight hair in 99% of ways

[@KimmiDoo9]

Brad I love you and you’re awesome and so knowledgeable about everything butttttt… i really think you need to find out a little more about curly hair. Everything India did was spot on. The bowl method basically just mixes the conditioner / products in with the excess water in your hair and you keep putting it back in so it absorbs more and more moisture. Also, Curly girls literally cannot detangle their hair when it’s dry. It causes sooo much more breakage and our hair poofs out 10x’s it’s normal size! As long as your hair is conditioned enough and wet enough and you do it GENTLY, using a wet brush or tangle teaser to detangle is really the safest way for us to get our tangles out.

[@annahill99]

Sorry but Brad is just not educated enough on curly hair care to be doing this. People without curls or waves rarely are. If you’re looking for well researched, good curly hair advice, I recommend visiting a channel run by a curly girl like Manes by Mell. She’s got your back.

[@Naomi-wx9sp]

[@natali3-e]

[@delarosamoni]

I've only made it partway through the first video he's critiquing, and it's insanely obvious that Brad has no experience with curly hair. Curly hair can break when dry-brushed, and water helps the hair absorb moisture and product. Edit: As this video goes along, it's painfully obvious that Brad is ignorant to curly hair care and has done almost no research on curly care before this video. The bowl method works for a lot of curlies, so the fact that it doesn't compute for him doesn't mean that it's not going to work.

[@pandemonicpixie]

It confuses me that the bowl method would work. I agree Brad made a ton of errors in this video, but the bowl method was really weird to me. Like he mentioned, it's only being reapplied to the lower half of the hair, and honestly, you're just applying more water diluted product into the hair with each pass. Her end result was lovely, but I dunno about that part of it.

[@MrTableforfive]

@@pandemonicpixie I 100% agree. (And don't get me started on the errors in this video) I put product in my hair while it's soaking wet, and then I plop with cotton a t shirt (not a shower cap, TF was that) or scrunch dry a bit with a t shirt cos I'm impatient. Sure, I waste some product, but my hair looks better. Yet I can't understand this bowl thing. *It seems like all this extra work for, what? You could just dilute the product in the first place if you're going to keep dunking?

[@pandemonicpixie]

@@MrTableforfive I could see a shower cap working instead of a microfiber towel plop. I'm not sure it matters too much how the hair is placed, mostly that it has time to absorb product, not get messed up by air or the wrong fabric, and then let down to dry at some point. My biggest issue with plop is that it messes up the direction of the lower half of my hair, and I haven't entirely solved that. Parting is a pain while wet, but seems to have gotten me closer to better results, but then how to dry, parted and appropriately protected. I dunno. Lol.

Also I just wanted to add. It’s not true that the products won’t work as well if you apply it on curly hair. I have 3B hair, if I apply on towel dries hair, I get frizz. If I apply on soaking wet hair, I get perfectly defined curls, every single time. It takes longer to dry, but it’s worth it, cause my hair lasts a full week, and I don’t get any frizz until around day 5/6.
